Why don't you believe in the divine?
Because there are no miracles on television.
Woven into the tapestry of religion's natural history is this all-too-convenient coincidence: the gods quit working public, large scale, bodacious miracles just about the time we developed the technology to record events.
Our ability to archive streaming light and sound put paid to the table-knocking, fairy garden nonsense of the Victorian era, but established religion had long before papered over the lack of miracles with theology. So one must ask: Is there no Miracle Match Game Show on Fox just because we are at that post-adolescent, no-miracle stage of our relationship with the divine? Or is it because there never were any miracles at all?
My answers to these questions, and many like them, at least suggest the flavor of my disbelief. I continue to call myself an agnostic because I don't see evidence against the existence of the divine, per se; however, given the nature of the world, I don't see much room for a loving, passionately involved Creator.
